FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this fleece top?
The Regatta Thompson Half Zip Fleece Top is designed primarily as a versatile layering piece for warmth and comfort, suitable for casual wear and outdoor activities in cooler conditions.
How do I find the correct size?
Please refer to the sizing information provided in the product description. It lists chest measurements (in inches) for each size, from XS to 5XL. Measure your chest and compare it to the chart to find your best fit.
Is this fleece suitable as an outer layer in cold weather?
While it provides warmth, it is best suited as a mid-layer under a more protective outer jacket or coat for true cold weather conditions. It offers good insulation but may not be windproof or waterproof on its own.
What does '170gsm' mean?
GSM stands for grams per square meter, which is a measure of fabric density. 170gsm indicates a lightweight fleece that is warm enough for layering without being too heavy or bulky.
Can I wear this fleece year-round?
It is most suitable for spring, autumn, and mild winter days, either on its own or as a layer. In very cold weather, it would be worn under warmer outerwear.
How should I care for the fleece to ensure it lasts?
Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning. Washing and zipping up before washing helps maintain its shape and finish.
What is the benefit of the half-zip design?
The half-zip allows for easy on and off, as well as adjustable ventilation. You can zip it up to your neck for extra warmth or unzip it to cool down.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size by checking the size guide. If between sizes, consider sizing up for a looser fit.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Fleece shows signs of pilling.
While one side is treated to resist pilling, excessive friction or improper washing can still cause it. Follow the recommended care instructions carefully, especially regarding washing and drying.
